If you go to munich, be sure to take a daytrip train ride over to Salzburg, Austria. Beautiful town wit a good Christmas market.


We took the train in December from Munich and stayed there 3 nights. Got to fill a bucket list item seeing Krampusnacht! No words can explain this scene. What a hoot.

Selected Photos Salzburg 2024!

December 5th 2025! Be There!

Nürnberg is really popular. It is the home of lebkuchen and the bread for the bratwurst is really good, like the old reising pistolettes.

Here is a good article to have your browser translate with a bunch of suggestions around Munich.

If you come in one calendar month for long enough and your group is small, get a deutschlandticket and you can go anywhere on the local trains, even to Salzburg.

Munich: go to the Mittelaltermarkt (Middle Ages themed Christmas market, really cool), the Residenzmarkt, Viktualienmarkt, and Muenchener Freiheit market. Avoid Marienplatz as overly touristy and expensive.

Vienna: St. Stephen's and Schloss Belvedere. Vienna City Hall has a huge one along with ice skating and a ferris wheel for incredible views.

Christmas markets are awesome...but they do get redundant after seeing one or two

Here would be my order from best to worst of the ones I have been to:

Salzburg
Rothenburg

Bolzano
Munich
Garmisch Partenkirchen

Florence
Paris

Going to Munich - Salzburg - Vienna over Christmas.

Hotel selection is not ideal this close to the trip. Has anyone here stayed in a VRBO/AirBNB in Munich or Vienna that they liked.

Obviously looking for a safe area that is close to the things we would want to see, as we teenagers coming with us.

TIA!
